How many amps does this draw?
11688
Hi - I love a good electrical puzzle. To figure Amperage used per fixture, need to know total wattage of each fixture. In this case, the TriPar is 5 LED"s at 3 watts each or 15 watts total per fixture. 15 watts divided by 120 volts equals .125 amps each fixture. So, on a typical household 15 amp circuit, 15 amps (total available) divided by .125 amps (per fixture used) equals up to 120 Tripars fixtures could be connected on a circuit, however the general rule of electrical wizardry is not to exceed 80% of total. And remember to include anything else plugged into this circuit in the calculations. Hope it helps you !! By the way, we love this fixture in our DMX set up, use over 30 of them.

It is listed in the description as 8 amps. Of course this is running at full speed...on start up the draw will be about 15 amps

I believe it draws just under 1 amp at 12 volts. I am running 4 of them on the property with a 12 volt class 2 transformer. At 6 volts it will pull 1.1 amps.

Approximately 1.5 Amps... see http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Watt_to_Amp_Calculator.htm

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

I think it draws 8 amps. I used it in A Freightliner Cascadia to make coffee in the morning. It took about 10 minutes to come to a boil. It has a tight lid so you can use it while driving. It has a metal flex handle that you can stick it in the glove box door and shut it and it holds the pot up right and you just plug in to the power port. Saved money not having to buy coffee at the truck stop. Buy it you will love it.

I think less than 20 amps because I plug it in to a electrical outlet and it doesn't blow a fuse :)

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.

It comes with a 15 amp, 125 volt fuse, so it is pulling less than 15 amps. I hope this helps answer your question.

Not sure of current draw but it's very minimal. Only uses an 1 amp fuse. Works great!

around 40-50 amps, when it runs for a long time it takes a little more because it heats up. I have been using it daily since I got it and only blew out 1 of the 40 Amp fuses just recently. This thing needs a lot of power and will kill batteries if you let it.

NO. this does not draw enough amperage. Hooked mine up with a 20A switch with a 10A fuse. Works great.

i think it is more up to local code, but i plug it. It only draws 8amps, so i don't see why it would not work.

Hi Brian... don't know how many watts it uses... I do know that from low speed to hi speed it draws 0.2 to 1.9 amp DC which is very good. I love mine...buy one you won't be sorry I promise...hope this is usefull for you...Lou

I'm not sure but it's less than 15 amps and more than 6 when it is cooking. It requires a circuit for itself.

I believe it draws around 10 amps, I myself had not had any fuses blown, most of the time I hook up directly to battery although I have had it running off my trailer light connector on back bumper with no problems.

I'm not sure how many amps this uses, but I can tell you that this is a powerful vac. More power then my Dyson. I love it.
